  Summary

  Sirius get's given a wrong number, Remus definitely isn't being sarcastic, and they should probably agree to stay strangers...

  *

  Rated M for a lot of language, some sexual content but nothing too explicit, mainly jokes/flirting.
  Any TWs should be listed at the start of chapter notes, please let me know if I ever miss anything, but this is a safe fic, bar some minor Walburga angst.
